Hey guys... I am new here and working on a project that is semi-rat rod. I enjoy the engineering part of working on my truck and figured you guys would find interest in my build thus far. I plan on setting up camp here for my build hopefully. Here is where I am so far:
Day 1: Had a kind of crappy attempt a restoration. Time to tear it down.

Old frame: Had a bunch of surface rust etc... but held up well.

Old Engine: It ran strong but only produced 100 hp with a 4.10 gear ratio. It had to go. Swapped for a 350 mated to a 700r4.
